Hello there Could it possibly be JEANNE BOHEC ? There is several sites on Jeanne on the web but they all seem to be in French, from what i can gather she went on to become a mathematics professor and published a book of memoirs 'Plastiquese with a bicycle'. She is also remembered in the following book 'Sisters in the Resistance' by Margaret Collins Weitz. Hope this helps Deborah Robertson (Glasgow) ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Kristy" <hannah@teleport.com> To: "Wigtownshire Scotland" <Sct-Wigtownshire@rootsweb.com> Subject: [WIG LIST] I friend has requested help on where/how to research!!!!!
